This is a page of memorable quotes from movies, songs, books, people, etc.

"The details of my life are quite inconsequential... Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I recieved my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum...it's breathtaking - I suggest you try it."

life and death, energy and peace
if i stopped today it was fun
even the terrible pains that
have burnt me and scarred my
soul it was worth it for having
been allowed to walk where i've walked
which was to hell on earth heaven on
earth back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it over and above it.

"exiled on the mainline halo burning bright in a sodium haze, all meaning is lost but this confusion remains, i'm going to tear myself apart if i can't get myself together, and spread my pieces around like waste and give my gift of stormy weather, every time i move i feel like something's broken, everytime i laugh i feel like maybe i'm choking, i know you'd laugh too but it's not that funny anymore -i kissed the floor on my way down, a matchhead burning out on the frozen ground- i just want to thank every one of you for all the things you don't do, for the stab in the back for the kick in the face for the pain in the neck and all the shame and disgrace for the spit in the eye and all the things you say, and all the games you play-for the agony- see you in hell."
